Chapter 113: The boy colluding with the Stormterror! The bard who calls himself Venti!
"Captain Kaeya?!"
Amber waved happily at the newcomer and introduced his identity to Lumine.
Upon learning that this guy was actually the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, Paimon was startled.
"I thought this guy was a pirate."
"Ahaha, indeed, just looking at his appearance, Captain Kaeya doesn't look much like a good person, but let me tell you quietly, he actually has a very good heart."
Before Amber could finish, she was glared at by the dark-skinned youth who was tossing Mora around in a devil-may-care manner.
"Hey, don't speak ill of people to their faces."
"Hehe, I didn't."
Amber stuck out her tongue; her sunny and cheerful personality could always infect those around her.
Fischl gave a light huff: "This Princess shall not join in on the commendation ceremony; there are more important matters to attend to next."
She knew almost all the prominent figures in Mondstadt, so her attitude was very casual.
"That won't do. Acting Grand Master Jean specifically requested everyone's presence. Miss Fischl, you wouldn't want Mr. Luo Li to hear that you are not following regulations, would you?"
This sentence was simply devastating; no matter how angry Fischl was, she could not refute it.
Seeing the headstrong girl actually frightened by a name, Paimon couldn't help but lean into Amber's ear and ask curiously.
"Who is that Luo Li person? He sounds so scary, even Miss Fischl doesn't dare to resist him."
You have to know, she even dared to charge at the Stormterror just now; could it be that the other party is even more terrifying than the Stormterror?
A figure that was extremely burly and imposing suddenly appeared in Paimon's little head.
Seeing that even Lumine had leaned her head in, looking like she wanted to hear the gossip, Amber rolled her eyes.
"Mr. Luo Li is a very good person. Not only does he have the respect of all the Knights, but he is also so knowledgeable that even Lisa bows down to him, occasionally discussing matters with the etiquette of a disciple."
After finishing, she patted her own head and realized with a start: "I almost forgot, aren't you looking for your relative and the god who separated you back then? Perhaps Mr. Luo Li knows the clues."
Lumine perked up: "Really?"
She couldn't wait to find her brother, as well as the white-haired god who had separated the two of them.
"Probably. After all, Mr. Luo Li is well-versed in both ancient and modern times; he knows some secret rumors from the ancient era. I've heard he has lived for hundreds of years and has even seen the Seven Archons."
Amber patted her chest to confirm, which gave Lumine great confidence.
Paimon couldn't help but clap her hands happily: "That's great, I hope there will be clues this time."
Kaeya had been listening silently, and finally interrupted the conversation here.
"Alright, ladies, I can't control you going to find Mr. Luo Li afterward, but for now, please go to the Knights of Favonius headquarters first."
Lumine and her group naturally had no reason to refuse; in fact, being able to connect with the person who held the most power in this country was actually a stroke of luck.
It was just that during the process, Paimon kept agonizing over whether or not to give a gift.
Lumine had nothing to say about this. Before leaving, she suddenly saw a green-clad boy in a blind spot of her vision, watching her and Fischl from the fountain, his eyes seemingly filled with unbelievable surprise.
"It's the person who was talking to the giant dragon in the forest!"
When she turned her head, she found that the boy had already disappeared from where he stood.
After looking around and failing to find anyone, Lumine had no choice but to bury her doubts in her heart, deciding to find this person later and figure out his background.
Located in the blind spot of the Anemo Archon statue, the boy, who looked like a noble young master, stared at the backs of Fischl's group, rubbing his chin in confusion.
"If I didn't see wrong, that is the real Holy Lyre der Himmel, but how could it appear here?"
In order to figure out the reason, the boy decided to stay here and wait for those people to come out so he could try to ask.
Logically speaking, it should have been buried in the Abyss along with that disaster back then.
With various questions swirling in his mind, he stared unconsciously at the Knights of Favonius headquarters while being completely baffled.
As it turned out, this wait lasted half a day.
Tourists in the plaza saw his bard attire and asked if he could sing, but unexpectedly, he refused.
Not knowing how many waves of people had passed, the boy sighed and finally saw Lumine's group come out of the headquarters.
The boy's spirit was instantly lifted, and he immediately hurried over.
Different from before they went in, Kaeya and Amber, who had been by the two girls' sides, were gone.
But that didn't matter; his target had nothing to do with those two anyway.
Thus, when Lumine and Fischl came out together, the two were whispering to each other...
"Amber just said you know where that person named Luo Li lives?"
Perhaps because both of them had a flying pet by their side, they inexplicably found a common topic, and coupled with fighting the Stormterror together, their relationship progressed exceptionally fast.
Lumine had also more or less figured out the personality of this strangely dressed girl beside her; she looked difficult to approach, but was actually just a little awkward and tsundere.
She liked to use exaggerated words to show off, most of which were just bragging, so one only needed to ignore it.
Fischl held her head high, looking proud: "Hmph, that is the Sage who has forged a three-lifetime bond with this Princess!"
Lumine didn't understand, but she also knew that the relationship between the two must be quite deep; she could tell from their expressions.
Paimon was very envious: "To think you know such an amazing person!"
As she said this, she took the time to glance at Lumine.
Lumine was unhappy; what do you mean by that? If I hadn't fished you out of the sea, you wouldn't even know where you were right now.
Just as she was thinking about what words to use to refute, someone suddenly popped up in front of her.
"Hehe, hello there!"
Lumine steadied herself; before she could see the newcomer clearly, Paimon pointed at him and shouted.
"It's you, the person who colluded with the Stormterror!"
"What do you mean by 'colluded with the Stormterror'? That sounds terrible; there was a reason for that." The boy scratched his head and explained with a grin: "You can call me Venti."
Paimon put her hands on her hips, her face full of distrust.
Are you kidding? She saw it with her own eyes, and he still wanted to deny it.
Fortunately, the person in charge wasn't her. Lumine spoke up at this moment: "How should we believe you?"
Hearing this, the boy who called himself Venti perked up, his gaze shifting to Fischl, who was oblivious to the side.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. How about this: I can tell you some news about the Stormterror, but as a condition of the exchange, you must also answer my questions. How about it? That's fair, right?"
He was talking about exchanging information, but seeing him staring at Fischl the whole time, Lumine knew exactly who the other party was coming for.
However, the information was indeed important, plus the Stormterror's puzzling behavior.
She decided to trust this strange boy once. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
